Ping Check in auto-init mode
If the system is booted up using the auto-init procedure, the runtime image performs a ping check
to make sure that the system has IP connectivity. The runtime image, after loading the
configurations from the configuration file, tries three times to ping the IP address specified as the
ping-address parameter in the BOF file, at a 2, 8 and 16 minutes interval minute interval. If the
ping does not succeed, the system is rebooted with BOF reset after 1 minute and the whole boot
process is repeated. If address in the BOF is zero or the ping address is not given, the ping check is
not done. Figure 8 describes the TiMos Boot — System Initialization Part III.
